Grateful Elements...

Hiya,

I combined this week's Freshly Made sketch with the fab colour combo from Create with Connie & Mary...

I used a stamp set that we will {finally!!} be getting in our catty come October to create this:


The floral image was stamped on watercolour paper with Stazon then watercoloured with Rich Razzleberry and Lucky Limeade inks. I added a bit of sparkle with silver dazzling details (told ya I liked this stuff lol!) and sponged the edges slightly with Crumb Cake ink for a touch of vintage. The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy on Very Vanilla and punched out with the Word Window punch. The bird was stamped with Night of Navy and cut out with my trusty paper snips. The background papers are a combination of First Edition, Rich Razzleberry prints and a strip of Candlelight Christmas dsp (I love it when Christmas themed papers can be used for other projects too!).

That's all for now... thanks for stopping by!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share.
